Transition: Advanced Counting to Early AdditiveDomain:Addition and Subtraction

Achievement Objectives / Number and Algebra: Level Two
Number Strategies:
  • Use simple additive strategies with whole numbers and fractions
Number Knowledge:
  • Know forward and backward counting sequences with whole numbers to at least 1000.
  • Know the basic addition and subtraction facts.
  • Know how many ones, tens, and hundreds are in whole numbers to at least 1000.

Key Teaching Ideas / Problem progression / References / Knowledge being developed / Resources
Our number system is based on ten.
(Key Idea #1)
Basic fact knowledge can be used to add and subtract tens.
(Key Idea #2) / 30 + 40 = ,
so 34 + 42 = .
50 + 40 = ,
so 53 + 43 = 
and 45 + 55 = .
60 – 30 = ,
so 64 – 32 = .
80 – 50 = ,
so 84 – 51 = 
and 88 – 54 = .
30 + 20 + 40 = ,
so 32 + 25 + 41 =  / Teaching Addition and Subtraction (Book 5)

Numbers can be rearranged and combined to make ten.
(Key Idea #3)
Addition is associative, so addends can be re-grouped to solve a problem more efficiently.
(Key Idea #6) / 4 + 6 = , so 4 + 6 + 4 + 6 = .
7 + 3 = , so 7 + 5 + 5 + 3 = .

N 2.2 (2)Fan-tastic numbers
Addition and subtraction problems can be solved by partitioning one of the numbers to go up or back through ten.
(Key Idea #4)
Subtraction problems can be solved by going back through ten, partitioning numbers rather than counting back
(Key Idea #5) / 9 + 6 as 10 + 5 = .
6 + 8 as 4 + 10 = .
18 + 7 as 20 + 5 = .
